CHAPTER 354
"Hi, Mei. Good afternoon." Zhao Fu greeted with a smile.
"Smiling does not suit you, Zhao Fu," Jiang Meilin said before walking away from behind the counter.
"But I remember you used to tell me to smile when we were together. You uses to like it," Zhao Fu said.
"That was when we were together. Now, we are not. And I simply find it... repulsive."
"What? You can\'t be serious. You are just saying it to piss me off and it is not working, my dear," Zhao Fu continued following her.
"What do you want now, Zhao Fu? Stop bothering and following me. It is creepy and annoying and my customers are beginning to stare," Jiang Meilin turned and glared at him.
"Well, they can stare all they want. It is not like we are doing something that is inappropriate," Zhao Fu shrugged.
"As for what I want, hmm... Let us see... I want to take you out for lunch. You have been working non-stop since this morning. You should eat," he added.
"So you have been stalking me since morning?" Jiang Meilin asked with wide eyes.
"Yes and no. No, in the sense that you can\'t call what I was doing stalking. I was simply looking out for you."
"Well, I do not need it. I can\'t believe you are a general or whatever it is you are. This is illegal," Jiang Meilin stated.
"What is illegal? Me looking out for you?" Zhao Fu asked as he leaned on one of the empty shelves and watched her stack them with foodstuffs.
"Yes. That is illegal."
"Then why are you not calling the police?"
Silence
Jiang Meilin just ignored him and continued placing different vegetables on the shelf.
"You see. You can\'t call the police because you can\'t bear seeing me being dragged out of your store. You still like me, right?"
"Sigh. Zhao Fu," Jiang Meilin turned to him with a serious face.
"Yea, dear," Zhao Fu stood straight.
"We are not kids nor are we teenagers anymore. Now run along now. I have work to do," she shooed him away.
"Now you are treating me like a kid. Come on, don\'t be too shy to agree. Let me help you with that," Zhao Fu picked up a vegetable and placed it on the shelf.
"No. You are not a worker here, so you can\'t do that," Jiang meilin said.
"Okay. Then, can I be your worker? You can employ me immediately since you own this place, right? I am very agile and strong. I can carry stuff for you."
"Nope. That is not happening. If I employ you, you will end up annoying me which I do not have the strength for," Jiang Meilin disagreed.
"Alright. Since I can\'t just watch you do your job, then maybe I should just buy everything in this store of yours so that you can come with me for lunch," Zhao Fu thought out loud.
"..."
"I would not still go on anywhere with you. You are still so weird. Go away."

The day went fast as usual. Li Fengjin took to his words. He picked both Bai Renxiang and Bak Xiaojin from work and school before taking them home.
That evening, Charlie called that there was progress in the cream they were making to heal burns on the skin. They had made a lot and even sent a sample to Mr Bao for testing.
Bai Renxiang sighed in relief.
"So, what did Mr Bao say? Can it work its purpose?" She asked Charlie.
"He said he would get back to us first thing tomorrow morning. If or comes out great, we can start sales and get this over with," Charlie said.
"Oh, that is good. If it appears to be good, then we can start the press conference immediately. Can it be possible like that?"
"It can. We already have where to set things up in the company. The arrangement will not be too excessive because we used that place for press conferences. It is a big hall," Charlie informed her.
"Alright."
"Young miss, are you really sure you want to do this press conference? It will be all over the news. Everyone will see it," Charlie said.
There was a tinge of worry and concern in his voice. He knew the reason why she and her mother came here in the first place. What if her past comes back?
"To be honest, I am a bit nervous because of the number of people and questions that I will be asked," Bai Renxiang says.
"That is not what I mean. I mean that scandal. What if one of the reporters brings that up?"
"I have nothing to be scared of because grandpa said that only a few selected media will be at the press conference. Also, every question is centred on this issue. Also, I have started working on it. I need to clear my name if that ever happens any day at any time, anywhere."
"I was so relaxed that you were okay. I should have persuaded elder master Jiang to allow our men to find the truth being that lying scandal," Charlie said with regret.
"It is okay. I was so scared for mum and the thought of me being pregnant that I did not want to know the truth. I mean, the damage has already been done. But now... Now is different."
"I understand. Remember that the Jiang\'s family trained men to see yours too. Just give an order and they would follow you," Charlie said.
"Alright. As for the investigation of the rat in the company, how is it going?"
"We are still on it. But this case is very mysterious. I don\'t know how that person managed to get to last month\'s supply and spoiled everything."
"It baffles me too. This person must be out to ruin Jaing Corporation for good. We can\'t let that happen. Please make sure that no stone is left unturned in finding this culprit. I am leaving this in your hands, Charlie."
"I will not let you down, boss."
